Jamie Smith Impressionism: Project #1

I did Impressionism, mainly referencing Monet.

Self Portrait based on Fauvism

Lonely man- Alex Hanley

I choose this image because i liked the emotion this man shows.  He is sitting in a room alone with a ball and chain tied to his foot with individual lights pointing down at him.  His face shows such anger, but i really just think he's lonely. Everybody needs friends.

i tried to capture just the basic parts on the piece. the ball and chain, and his loneliness.  I really wanted to put the white and black contrast in with him.
By putting the red in for the white i think it shows more of the anger in him.  I liked the black and white one better but this just shows a different emotion.

Darlington " The Cabnet of Dr Caligari

My image I choose came right out of the wonderful work n of “The Cabnet’s Of Dr. Caligari”. I choose this film because the black and white prospective gives a remarkable and true classical sense of the light and dark scenes dramatic peek. The image I pick is a scene of an empty room. I choose this particular picture because I found the shapes visually entreating because of their geometrical form. Also, how each one than are placed in different part of the room, giving a sense of construction.  As for the project I basically recreated the shapes in the picture by using basic rectangle, circle, octagons and lines to create the chair, the frame of the window. For the colors, I pick warm, light and dark colors to give the picture a little realistic effect and an outdoor and indoor feeling when you look through the window. I intentionally make the color outside the window to correspond with the once inside the room, to gives the version a sense of movement and balance.

Creepy Scene in Tilted Room

I chose The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari because of its eery-esque characters and scenes. I found the shapes in the film particularly visual appealing because of how geometric they are. So, for my bauhaus project I exaggerated the geometric shapes using basic squares, triangles, circles and trapezoids. I used simple lines on the window to give the room a more crooked effect and lines on the floor to give the composition depth. 

I used an image from the movie "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari". The greyscale image creates the sense that the person in the image is a townspeaker of some sort that is about to announce something a crowd that may be serious or dark. On the other hand, the color image portrays an image of a more festive event that is about to be announced. I chose the image due to the mysteriousness of the actual event at hand, including the objects which are not recognizeable at that moment.

i will get pictures up soon

Levels in Photoshop

Here are two images that have the shades of gray adjusted using levels in Photoshop. This can be handy for tracing in Illustrator. OK.

Bauhaus stair-march delight

The still I used was drawn from "The Battleship Potemkin", and is from the scene where soldiers are descending upon uprising civilians down a large stone staircase.  I used repeating sets of threes in this project, in terms of shape groups and color patterns, to give the images a pleasing sense of rhythm. The three yellow diagonals in the top-right corner help to give dimension and grounding to the soldiers and their shadows, which would otherwise be seemingly floating in space.  I used slight variations of the colors to give depth of layers and help break the strictness of a tri-chromatic color scheme.  The original scene can be seen below.

Battleship Potamkin

I chose this thumbnail because I thought that it had good composition and symmetry. I liked the scene, because it took place on a ship. The colors were somewhat random, and seem to work fairly well together.
I was gearing toward the Bauhaus era. That is why there are circles, squares and rectangular shapes. I chose the brown, blue and purple because the men looked somewhat dirty and worn/beat.

Rosie's Battleship Potemkin - Color

In this color picture I took my black and white piece from The Battleship Potemkin and added color to it. My intention was to recreate it using colors that match the intensity levels of my black and white choices. My goal was to emphasize the movement and asymmetrical balance from the still.

There are organic shapes in this piece as well as sharp angles. The contrast of the dark hair to his face is sharp. In the black and white one you can feel the depth because of the closeness of his face in the picture and the faces in the crowd are darker. Adding color changes the feel of the location. In the color picture it feels like he is in an inclosed space unlike the other where he is outdoors. 

luke klein's contributions

These are what I came up with. I chose this still from "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" because I liked the strong visual impact the film had. The sharp, dynamic, and unrealistic angles make the scene of the man carrying away a woman more foreign, strange, and disorienting. I had fun with the color one as it completely altered the vibe of the picture.

I took the photo from the film "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari". It is rendured in color on the left and black, white and greys on the right hand side. I used very dianamic angled shapes using very little rounded edges. In the black and white photo, theres is a large variation of grey's in the background and the figure is more dynamic standing out in black instead of blending in with the rest of the photos colors.
